Are there any notes on upgrading from a previous release?

Should I upgrade to Fedora 11?

Following the Fedora lifecycle policy, two general releases are maintained at any given time. Fedora 9 will be EOL'ed a month after the Fedora 11 release. If you are using Fedora 9 or a older release, you are strongly urged to upgrade to continue getting security updates.

If you are using Fedora 10, you have the flexibility to skip Fedora 11 and go directly to Fedora 12. This is your personal choice to make. Use the live cd or virtualization if you want to try out Fedora 11.

Is it possible to upgrade to Fedora 11 from a previous release using yum?

Is there a list of common issues in Fedora 11 specifically?

Where can I report bugs or request enhancements?

You can do that via http://bugzilla.redhat.com. See BugsAndFeatureRequests for more details. Posting bug reports to fedora-list or other end user forums are not very useful for developers as they might not be able to keep track of the issues easily.
